Skate w/ Lemon, Butter & Capers

Skate is a delicious fish in the ray family. The meat is tender, flaky, and mild in flavor much like that of other white fish such as flounder or sole. The best part is, it’s usually very inexpensive, and super easy to make. Click here to watch me demonstrate how to make this elegant dish on our Season One Finale of HiB.

Skate w/ Lemon, Butter & Capers

Two 5 oz Skate Wings

2 TBSP olive oil

2 TBSP butter

salt and pepper to taste

2 tsp capers

1 tsp caper brine

juice from 1/2 lemon

In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium high heat. Season your skate wings with salt and black pepper, then carefully place them in the hot skillet. Add capers and brine to the pan, and allow the skate to cook for about 3 minutes or until the edges are opaque. Carefully flip the skate and allow to cook another 3 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish in the last seconds of cooking. Transfer the fish to a plate and spoon the caper & butter sauce over the top. Dig in & enjoy!
